Trees Have Rights

Trees have rights to live

Trust me this is not a fib

They have the right to be homes

For all creatures even your garden gnomes

They have the right to grow tall

And to also stand above all

They have the right to stay safe

And not to be waifs

They have the right to be playgrounds

For kids that act like clowns

They have the right to be the place

Where imagination sparks with grace

They have the right to be free

From cruelty, and from you and me

They have the right to blow in the breeze

Flying with butterflies and bees

Trees have rights to live

So please trust me this is not a fib

Please let them be

For what would you do if you were a tree
